Security requirements should be realized in the design phase of a secure software system. Security patterns are artifacts used to implement security requirements as to security controls and features.

Therefore, early detection of the absence of security patterns or non-standard security features will tremendously reduce development and maintenance costs. We first convert the security patterns and ...

To address this, the paper proposes a fully convolutional network (FCN) to evaluate the reordering potential of the A matrix into a bordered block diagonal (BBD) pattern, which is commonly observed in ...
